So I've always been a fan of tone on tone dressing and this navy & baby blue ensemble is no exception. For my 9 to 5 day gig, I'm always looking for rigs that have a bit of personality and don't bore both myself and my clients to tears. This Blouse definitely serves up a bit of quirk and the Chunky Pearls and emerald green bag add just the right amount of accessorized details. Even though there's some personality tossed in there, I think we've managed to maintain some ladylike professionalism, right? All about balance in my book!
Ok gang, if you're following along Instagram, you know my little ladies and I are on a little Floridian rendezvous and loving every minute of it. Y'all make it a great one--taking the babes with me to "work" tomorrow on a blog shoot with my fave Floridian photog, Lindsey Potter, so stay tuned for some fun beachy looks!

How about the red piping on these Chinos? They were the starting point and the Men's Plaid Shirt, denim jacket, and Sneaks easily followed suit. But aside from the rig, what I'm really digging is the arm decor. May I introduce to you s + s' newest sponsor, Omar + Elsie. An endlessly charming new boutique in Lexington chock full of fun accessories, shoes, and denim (think Loeffler Randall, Current/Elliot, Kate Spade, with a side of Jonathan Adler), Omar + Elsie is adding a fresh element to Lex's boutique scene. And how great that they're giving away a Made in the Deep South leather cuff (pictured above) to one lucky s + s reader! Entry rules are stated below using Rafflecopter. Alright gang, make it a good one and be sure to get your entry on--loving this cuff!
PS: any idea what the numbers mean on my gold Coordinates bracelet?

This look started with these Crepe Shorts--just adore their fit. Relaxed & pleated, these silky lovelies are gonna prove to be a versatile little pair this spring/summer. I loved them so much, in fact, that I snagged a navy pair as well which I def intend to pair with my navy blazer for a daytime work look.
Have to give a couple of shout(s) out today--one being to Miss Tiffany Mitchell. If you spotted this Instagram, you know we are planning on a little collabo here in a few weeks. We decided to do a little test run and have a fun photog sesh at one of her (and now my) fave spots in Lexington, National Boulangerie (thanks gang for letting us ransack your joint)! Make sure you all check out Tiffany's blog offbeat + inspired, kid is a crazy talent--just adore her!
Second shout goes to Better Homes and Gardens and YOU! Found out late last week that s + s was editor's choice for the BHG Blogger Awards in Fashion/Beauty--which means WE WON, gang! I truly, truly cannot thank you all enough for the support, tweets, posts, votes, etc--I am EXTREMELY grateful to say the least--sincerest Thanks, gang!

I swear (I think), I will not make y'all suffer through another look with these sweats. On the flip side, what kinda gal would I be if I didn't showcase an item that clearly gives you crazy bang for your buck and is pretty dang versatile (see HERE, HERE, HERE)? Ridiculously comfy, surprisingly more polished than you'd think, I'm simply crazy for SWEATS. What other article of clothing can you dress up, down, wear with flats, heels, sneaks, sleep in, dance in, eat in, let it all hang out it in? Seriously, I can't come up with one--so why not wear the hell outta them...alright gang, make it a good one--thanks for stopping by!

May I preface this little blurb with the fact that it was crazy windy near this row of stables so apologies for the unruly 'do (probably shouldn't have posted that last shot, but whatevs)! I wore the upper half of this look to Work with Bubblegum Pink Pants several weeks ago and knew I wanted to give it a run with some Boyfriends. Perfect for dinner with the gals or even a date night, this graphic black and white combo is both modern and fresh while also crazy comfy. Definitely plan on pairing this upper half with Red Pants or even keeping her classic with black slacks and a pop of Blue. Many a possibility with this little graphic number! Alright gang, make it a good one!
SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT: only 2 more days to vote for the Better Homes & Gardens Blogger Awards and then I promise I'll zip my trap--a HUGE thank you to the votes received thus far--appreciated more than you know!
